Family
Born in Lagrange, Illinois on April
1, 1964, married to Deborah on (06/26/86), born in Siberia, Indiana on
May 26, 1966. We have two sons Zachary 10 (4th. grade), Devan 7 (1st. grade).
We are currently serving and worshipping at Berea Baptist Church in Plant
City, Florida.ObjectiveA Pastor position
encompassing preaching, teaching, witnessing, worshipping, praying, singing,
evangelizing, with special emphasis on the biblical structure and importance
of family, discipleship, stewardship, social concern, outreach, church
growth, and service to others. To exalt the Lord Jesus Christ, preach and
teach the Bible, equip the saints for ministry, promote missions both domestic
and foreign, and win the lost.StatementI am comfortable in both traditional and contemporary
worship services, but enjoy a blended style, which holds to the tradition
of honoring the Glory of God in the sanctuary, believing that one goes
to church to worship and not to be entertained. I hold to the Southern
Baptist "Faith and Message" as established by the Southern Baptist Convention.
I believe in fully supporting the mission efforts of the SBC and our state
conventions, and in fulfilling our "Great Commission". I firmly believe
that Jesus is our Shepherd and a pastor is only the sheep dog who gathers
the flock together, leads them behind the shepherd, gathers the strays,
alarms the flock to wicked dangers, and loves each member of the flock
as one of his own family. I firmly believe in a visitation program, not
only for the pastor, but other leaders of the church. I am conservative
in my theology.MinistryBible Study Leader (Wednesdays) Davel

Statement Of Faith
God
I believe that there is but one God, omnipotent, omniscient,
omnipresent, who is the Creator and Sustainer of all things visible and
invisible, revealed in three Persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Lord Jesus Christ
I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, His deity, His virgin
birth, that He is the eternal Son of God, that He is the incarnation of
God, for whom and by whom all things were created.
The Holy Spirit
I believe that the Holy Spirit (as the third Person
of the triune God) proceeded from the Father and the Son, and is of one
substance, majesty and glory with the Father and the Son.
The Holy Scriptures
I believe in the divine inspiration of the Holy Scriptures,
as contained in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, as the sole revelation
of the mind and will of God, and I accept them in their original form as
the divine Word of God.
The Devil
I believe in the person of the Devil, who by his influence
and power initiated the downfall of man and now seeks to destroy the faith
of every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and to hinder the further spread
of the Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ.
Justification by Faith
I believe that it is impossible to attain salvation
through self-effort, but that through simply believing in the atoning death
and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and in acting out that faith
through receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we receive the remission
of all our sins, reconciliation with God and the gift of eternal life.
I believe in the security of the believer as he/she abides in Christ.
Baptism in Water
I believe in fulfilling the command of Jesus to baptize
believers into the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
and that this baptism is symbolic of our death, burial and resurrection
with the Lord Jesus Christ in His redemptive work on the Cross.
Sanctification
I believe it is the glorious privilege of every believer
in Christ to be made pure in heart and wholly sanctified by the operation
of the Holy Spirit through the blood of Christ and the Word of God.
The Church
I believe in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, made
up of all who have believed on the Lord Jesus and received the salvation
of the Cross, and that this Church will come to the full expression of
unity that can only be found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, according to
the prayer of Jesus Himself in John 17.
The Lords Supper
I believe, in accordance with the command of the Lord
Jesus, that we should celebrate this ordinance in remembrance of the atoning
work of Christ and as an act of fellowship together.
The Return of Christ
I believe in the physical second coming of the Lord
Jesus Christ, returning as He ascended, with power and majesty to rule
on the earth as King of Kings and Lord of Lords and to judge the dead and
the living. Those not found in the Book of Life will be consigned to everlasting
separation from God, described in the Scriptures as the Second Death. Those
found in the Book of Life will enter into the glorious presence of God.ReferencesUpon request
